Chapter 212: Bone refining, soul imprisonment [40]
Situ Xi hurriedly returned to Xia Zhao Kyoto. He didn't even return to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but went directly to the cemetery where An Ting was buried late at night.
Situ Xi glanced at the guards behind him and ordered: "dig this tomb for me."
"Yes!"
More than a dozen guards dug together and quickly dug out the coffin.
Situ Xi did not ask anyone to open the coffin immediately. Instead, he ordered the guards to carry the coffin onto a carriage and transport it to a secret location.
Situ Xi sat in the carriage together, and he just rested against the coffin. It had been a long time since he had a good sleep. The moment he leaned against An Ting's coffin, he was able to rest peacefully for the first time in a long time.
"Your Highness, here we are."
Hearing Rong Hui's voice, Situ Xi immediately opened his eyes and looked around with vigilance.
After getting off the carriage, Situ Xi ordered the guards to carry the coffin into the cold cave.
This thousand-year ice cave was discovered by Situ Xi accidentally. He didn't expect that it would come in handy now.
Entering the cold cave, Situ Xi only left two people behind. One was the high priest he invited from the Western Regions, and the other was Rong Hui. All the others were rejected by him.
Rong replied: "Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to help open the coffin?"
"No, I'll come in person."
Situ Xi stepped forward and opened the coffin lid with his bare hands. The moment the coffin lid was opened, he saw An Ting, who was longing for him.
"We finally meet again."
Situ Xi reached out and touched An Ting's cold cheek, then showed an angry look.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die. If he didn't protect you, I will make him pay the price."
Situ Xi took back his hand, looked at the high priest of the Western Region and said, "What should we do next?"
The high priest in a black cloak stepped forward. The hat covered his entire face, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly. He also had a black cloth covering his eyes, so many people mistakenly thought he was blind.
"Your Highness, if you want to drag someone back from the border of death, your bones will have to be refined. Are you willing to do that?"
"Refining bones? Then how can he be considered alive if he doesn't have a body?"
"The bones are refined and the soul is imprisoned. As long as his soul is still in this world, I will find him a new and intact body."
Situ Xi narrowed his eyes and asked sternly: "Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"
"Your Highness, Prince Gu is dead. If I don't use this method, his bones will rot over time. Why not give it a try?"
Situ Xi took a deep breath. He felt that what the High Priest of the Western Regions said was very reasonable, and he could only treat the dead horse as a live doctor.
"Okay, I believe you."
……
The next day.
As soon as Situ Yue returned home from court, he heard the secret guard tell him that An Ting's tomb had been dug up.
"who is it?!"
"My subordinates are investigating. Please be patient, Your Highness."
"Oh, you can't even guard the tomb, so what use are you?!"
Situ Yue rode his horse to the cemetery in An Ting. He dismounted and walked over to take a look. He saw a large pit sunken into the ground and the coffin was missing.
Situ Yue originally wanted to temporarily place An Ting's body here and help him move his coffin when the tomb was built, so that they could be buried together a hundred years later.
Situ Yue looked at the big pit at his feet, clenched his fists angrily, and roared: "Check! Even if Kyoto is turned upside down! I have to find out who it is for this prince!"
"Yes!"
After two days of investigation by secret guards, Situ Yue finally knew who stole An Ting's coffin.
"Situ Xi!"
Situ Yue mounted his horse and led people all the way to the Millennium Cold Cave where Situ Xi was.
